2026 Chevrolet TRAX 2RS: Monroe Buyers Guide

The one that turns heads in the parking lot

There's a reason the 2RS sits at the top of the range: it's the TRAX that looks the most deliberate. The 19-inch wheels fill out the body in a way the smaller wheels can't, the RS grille and black bowties give the front end an edge, and inside, red accents and a flat-bottom steering wheel make the cabin feel a notch more intentional than the entry trims. It also carries the 11-inch touchscreen and 8-inch driver information display that start on LT, so you aren't giving up the better screen to get the better look.

It's worth being clear about what the 2RS is not. The sporty design does not mean sporty power; the engine is the same 137-horsepower three-cylinder as on every TRAX, and the vehicle is front-wheel drive. What you're paying for is style, wheel size and equipment, and for many buyers that is exactly the point.

2RS or ACTIV?

These two start at the same $25,700, and they split the market by personality. The 2RS is for drivers who like the sport look: bigger wheels, RS details, a flat-bottom wheel. The ACTIV is for drivers who like the outdoorsy look: black-painted wheels, ACTIV badging and body cladding. Neither one has all-wheel drive, so the choice is entirely about taste and the way each rides. One practical note for a rainy region like the Sky Valley: bigger wheels usually mean a firmer ride, so test-drive the 2RS on a rough stretch of road before you decide, and compare it with the LT if you want the same screen on a softer ride.

Chevrolet lists the Driver Confidence package, which includes adaptive cruise control, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with side blind zone alert and rear park assist, as available across the TRAX lineup. Confirm what's installed on any 2RS you're considering by looking at its window sticker.
